Vice President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Alexei Selivanenko in a conversation with said that the tennis player who entered the main draw at Wimbledon Mirra Andreeva ready to defeat rivals who have been on the WTA Tour for a long time.
On Thursday, 16-year-old Andreeva won the final Wimbledon qualifier and entered the main draw at the tournament. In the decisive match, the Russian defeated German Tamara Korpach in three sets – 7:5, 5:7, 6:2.
– Mirra has already shown that she is capable of playing at this level, notably at Roland Garros, where she qualified for the third round. But Andreeva is just beginning to show herself, so the question is how many matches in a row she can play. If we take the quality of tennis, then Mirra is ready to defeat those who have been on the circuit for a long time. Therefore, I can’t say I’m surprised by his entry into the main draw at Wimbledon. It’s a great result, but I wouldn’t want to sensationalise it.
How does Andreeva behave on the grass? Now, all actors are more or less universal. There is no such thing as someone playing on one surface. Since Mirra has won three matches in a row against experienced rivals who have been on the circuit for a long time, it means that she has no problem with this surface. A top player adapts to any pitch, Selivanenko told .
Wimbledon main draw matches will be played from July 3-16.
